The Hertfordshire Way is a circular walk around the County of Hertfordshire, England. The total length is 312 km (194 miles) which is fully waymarked in the anti-clockwise direction. One section has two optional routes reducing the possible length to 271 km (169 miles). The walk is mainly in open countryside, some less than 20 miles from central London, but also passes through the historic city of St Albans, the County town of Hertford and the towns of Royston and Bishop’s Stortford. A number of the smaller, attractive villages of Hertfordshire are also encompassed in the route. The route is formally divided into 16 sections most of which are accessible using public transport but as a circular walk it can be used to suit the wishes of the walker. The walk was planned and is cared for by The Friends of the Hertfordshire Way, who are affiliated with the Ramblers Association.〔(The Friends of the Hertfordshire Way ) 〕 Funding for maintenance of way marks etc. is provided through subscriptions and donations to the group and sale of the guidebook. == History == The route originally started development in 1995 as part of the celebrations to mark 60 years of the Ramblers Association but it was not until 1996 that the route was officially established and the first issue of the guidebook was published in 1998. At that time it was 267 km (166 miles) in length. Over subsequent years amendments and additions have been made. The 2009 edition is available from the Friends of Hertfordshire Way. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hertfordshire Way」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
